After sending a letter to the CEO of Palm (yes, I really sent a letter by snail mail to the CEO), I was told by a Palm corporate customer service rep that the Palm engineers look at the requests, and numbers count.

If you know someone with a Pre, send them the link.

What I really don't understand is how the engineers or executives haven't made this a reality yet. It's both a convenience and a safety issue.

Voice activated dialing is the one and only thing I truly loved on my Instinct, which I left when I got my Pre in July...and I love everything about my Pre, but voice dialing would make it even sweeter.

Voice-activated dialing was one of the few things my Moto Q did well.

I'd be surprised if this is not helping to put Palm at a competitive disadvantage.

Thanks for all the suggestions on Palm's web site and keep them coming. Supposedly they will listen.

Another reason we need voice-activated dialing is for the middle of winter. 15 degrees outside and I had to take my gloves off to dial my wife. Any other phone, I could just hit the bluetooth with my gloves still on. Crazy.

Time to shoot off another letter to Rubinstein. I'm not done applying the pressure on Palm yet.
